Interrupting

Kids' who are RAD have poor impulse control. They tend to interrupt and interject in every conversation going on around them. Add back in the hypervigilence I spoke of yesterday and it makes a pretty bad combination. Not only is it annoying behavior at home, it does not help with peer relationships at all.

One tip is to have them raise their hand if you are involved in a conversation before they are allowed to speak. Or they can also put one hand on your arm. Practice this repeatedly. When they don't follow through they need more practice. It helps them to develop some self control and makes for a more harmony in the house! Have a healing day!
